Description

1 A process for producing a metal sheet 2282551 The invention relates to
the use of a preferably closed, extruded profile, to a development of a hollow profile, and to a process for producing a metal sheet which is stepped in cross-section and has different wall thicknesses, the profile or the hollow profile, from which the metal sheet is produced, being stretched out flat before rolling.
US-PS 1 915 084 discloses a process for producing a metal sheet, which metal sheet is stepped in cross-section and exhibits different wall thicknesses. The prefabricated semifinished article, which exhibits one or more f lattenings running in the direction of rolling and is intended for producing the metal sheet, is designed such that it is already stepped at the points of the metal sheet, which is to be rolled from the semifinished article,.which will later become steps, and it likewise already exhibits different wall thicknesses. The ratios of the wall thicknesses of appertaining regions of the semifinished article and of the finished metal sheet correspond to one another; i.e. during rolling of the semifinished article to form the metal sheet, the wall thicknesses of the thicker regions of the semifinished article are reduced by approximately the same factor as the wall thicknesses of the thinner regions. For rolling the metal sheet, the semifinished article is laid in between two rolls, the roll assigned to one side of the semifinished article or of the metal sheet exhibiting a planar rolling surface, while the roll assigned to the other side of the semifinished article or of the metal sheet exhibits a stepped rolling surface.
DE-OS 23 43 579 discloses a further process and an apparatus for forming a metal sheet with a stepped crosssection and different material thicknesses. In accordance with the teaching of this document too, preformed semifinished articles are used for producing the metal sheet, it being proposed to produce the semifinished article 2 by embossing rolling, die working, longitudinal welding on the borders of sheet-metal strips of different thicknesses, cutting, milling or another material-removing method of machining. However, the die working is expedient only in the case of semifinished articles which are comparatively short in the direction of rolling, while the longitudinal welding, in particular in the case of light metals, and the materialremoving method of machining cause extremely high outlays. In the same way as section rolling of the semifinished article to form the metal sheet, embossing rolling of a blank, designed as a metal block (slab), to form the semifinished article involves high outlay in terms of apparatus and energy. Thus, in particular in the case of rolling the semifinished article, the pressure which is to be applied and/or the energy requirement for tempering the metal of the blank during rolling is/are very high. Furthermore, rolling trains of this type require a large amount of space. In addition, controlling the machine is extremely high in outlay since, inter alia, the angular speed of those regions of the stepped roll which roll those portions of the metal sheet which are of a thinner wall thickness has to be lower than that of those regions of said roll which roll the thicker portions. These different angular speeds are therefore necessary in order that the tangential speed of these roll regions, exhibiting different diameters, is approximately the same.
DE-OS 14 52 646 discloses a process for producing components, in particular closed hollow load-bearing members, whose wall thicknesses vary in accordance with the loading to which they are subjected. Furthermore, the hollow load-bearing member exhibits only one wall, which turns in on itself in the peripheral direction without branching. In the case of this process, a semifinished article is rolled from a sheet-metal strip, which is used as blank and is of a uniform cross-section, the cross-sectional progression of said semifinished article being stepped and the different wall thicknesses of said semifinished article already t 1 3 corresponding to the desired wall thicknesses of the component which is to be formed therefrom. In this arrangement, the cross-sectional progression of the semifinished article is selected such that the component can be bent from said semifinished article, the regions of greater wall thickness being arranged at those points of the component which are subjected to higher loading. Finally, the free, abutting longitudinal borders of the semifinished article are then welded to one another.
The present invention seeks to simplify the production of a metal sheet which is stepped in crosssection and has different wall thicknesses. Further, the invention seeks to produce a metal sheet which, at least on one side, has a surf ace f inish which is suitable f or an outer side, for example, of a vehicle body.
According to the present invention there is provided a process for using an extruded profile with different wall thicknesses as a starting material for forming a flat-lying, solid-profiled metal sheet which has a varied wall-thickness progression in cross-section, the said profile being stretched out flat before rolling.
The invention also provides a process for producing a metal sheet which is stepped in cross-section, exhibits a solid profile and has different wall thicknesses, in the case of which first of all a semifinished article is produced, whose cross-section is similar to the crosssection of the metal sheet in the direction of thickness, and in the case of which process the metal sheet is rolled from the semifinished article, wherein, for the production of the semifinished article, a hollow profile, having a wall-thickness progression which is distributed over the periphery and corresponds to the desired wall-thickness progression of the semifinished article, is extruded, and the hollow profile is separated along a surface line and is formed into the semifinished article.
By using an extruded profile, whose walls correspond, in principle, to those of a semifinished article 4 produced therefrom, at least the sub-process of the production of the semifinished article is simplified. In particular, this is favourable in the case of metal sheets consisting of light metals such as aluminium since, inter alia, the extrusion method has been developed to an extremely advanced degree here. Furthermore, in comparison with iron or steel, the melting point of light metals is low, f or which reason the amount of energy required in extrusion is also comparatively low. By rolling the semifinished article, a high surface finish of the metal sheet is achieved, good dimensional stability of the metal sheet also being ensured simultaneously by rolling.
The invention is explained hereinbelow with reference to exemplary embodiments represented in the drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 shows a cross-section of an extruded prof ile for rolling a metal sheet, having one step and two different wall thicknesses, Fig. 2 shows a cross-section of a further extruded prof ile for rolling a metal sheet, having two steps and likewise two different wall thicknesses, Fig. 3 shows a cross-section of a tubular hollow profile for producing two different semifinished articles, corresponding to the profiles according to Figures 1 and 2, for two different metal sheets, Fig. 4 shows two prof iles which are laid one upon the other such that they are complementary with respect to one another, corresponding to Figure 1, having a separating means arranged therebetween, for rolling between cylindrical rolls, Fig. 5 shows a cross-section of an extruded hollow profile having two mutually opposite sub-wall regions which form complementary profiles, and Fig. 6 shows a cross-section of a further extruded hollow profile having two complementary sub-wall regions which are located opposite one another in alignment and are profiled exclusively on its inner surface.
Represented in Figure I is a cross-section of an extruded prof ile 1 for rolling a metal sheet, having one step and two dif f erent wall thicknesses. In order to produce the metal sheet, said profile 1, preferably manufactured f rom aluminium, is laid in a stepped roll arrangement in which the different wall thicknesses of the profile 1 are reduced by approximately the same factor. The use of profiles I of this type, as well as of the exemplary embodiments described hereinbelow, is expedient, in particular, in making bodies f or motor vehicles since, here, the intention is for the weight of the body, in particular for reasons of consumption, to drop and/or the mass increase to be reduced. By using these prof iles 1 for rolling stepped metal sheets, this is made possible, in particular at thickness-reducing transition points of the bcdy, in a more cost-effective and process-simplifying manner since said points no longer have to be produced by welding or materialremoving measures or high-outlay, laborious rolling processes.
Represented in Figure 2 is a cross-section of a further extruded profile 2 for rolling a metal sheet, which likewise exhibits two different wall thicknesses, but, in contrast to the prof ile 1 according to Figure 1, exhibits two steps. The production and the use of this profile 2 are, apart from the mask predetermining the different crosssection of the profile 2, similar to those of the profile 1 according to Figure 1, for which reason they are not dealt with in any more detail here.
In order to manufacture the prof iles 1 and 2 according to Figures I and 2, in the conventional manner, two different masks and also separate stock-keeping is required. This can be improved by means of a tubular hollow profile 3, whose cross-section is represented in Figure 3. The hollow profile 3 according to Figure 3 exhibits a circle-like crosssection, one half of its wall being designed to be thicker than its other half. In order to 6 produce the prof ile 1 according to Figure 1, the convex surface of the hollow profile 3 is separated, in particular by cutting, along a surface line 12, which is arranged along the change in wall thickness, and is then formed into one plane to give a semif inished article corresponding to the prof ile 1 according to Figure 1 and is transferred to the roll arrangement f or rolling the metal sheet. In order to produce a prof ile 2 according to Figure 2, the convex surface of the hollow prof ile 3 is separated along the surface line 13, and is likewise formed and rolled.
Represented in Figure 4 are two profiles 1 which are laid one upon the other such that they are complementary with respect to one another,, corresponding to Figure 1, between which profiles a separating means is arranged. This arrangement gives the advantage that said profiles 1, laid one upon the other, can be rolled together at the same time. This is. expedient, in particular, since, in this arrangement, two metal sheets are produced in a single rolling operation, this, favourably still being possible by means of simple, non-stepped cylindrical rolls in an easily controllable rolling operation.
A hollow profile 4 which favours the above method of machining is represented in Figure 5. The extruded hollow profile 4, which is represented in cross-section and is profiled on its outer surface, exhibits, in the peripheral direction, a wall thickness progression in the case of which a specific form, called sub-wall region 6, 7 in the following, occurs periodically, to be precise twice. in particular, the mutually opposite sub-wall regions 6, 7 are arranged such that they form complementary profiles, each cross-section of a sub-wall region 6, 7 exhibiting a crosssection which is designed in a manner similar to that of the semifinished article to be formed subsequently therefrom, in the present case the profile 1 according to Figure 1. By virtue of this design of the extruded hollow profile 4, the two sub-wall regions 6, 7, forming the profiles, are extruded at the same time in a single operating step. The 7 two sub-wall regions 6, 7 are connected along their longitudinal borders by wall portions 10 which are located in the peripheral direction, the wall portions 10 exhibiting a wall thickness which is smaller than the smallest wall thickness of the sub-wall regions 6, 7. Furthermore, the wall portions 10 are bent outwards in order that it is ensured that, when the two sub-wall regions 6. 7 are pressed against one another, they are displaced out of the abutment region thereof.
In order to permit a favourable production of the metal sheet, it is expedient, in this arrangement, to separate the two sub-wall portions 6, 7 at two opposite surface lines 14, 15 before rolling, in doing so removing the two wall portions 10, it also being possible, however. in principle to separate the two wall portions 10 only after rolling has taken place. In order to permit.3eparation of the two sub-wall regions 6, 7 which have been rolled together, it is expedient to arrange a separating means between the first sub-wall region 6 and the opposite second sub-wall region 7.
A hollow profile 5 which is suitable for a common rolling operation using cylindrical, non-stepped rolls is represented in cross-section in Figure 6. The hollow profile 5 according to Figure 6 is designed such that it is profiled exclusively on its inner surface 18, the two sub-wall regions 8, 9, which are arranged such that they are complementary with respect to one another, being located opposite one another in alignment. Consequently, the press ing-together of the sub-wall regions 8, 9, with the interposition of a separating means, is simplified. Likewise, the outlay during the subsequent rolling is reduced.
